Almost Paradise Cancelled After 2 Seasons

Paradise can't last forever, it seems: The tropical action drama Almost Paradise has been cancelled after two seasons, TVLine has confirmed.

"We're looking for a new home," executive producer Dean Devlin tells TV Insider. "I've never had a show that was this successful and yet couldn't stay at the same place more than one season." Almost Paradise debuted on WGN America back in 2020 and then moved to Amazon Freevee for Season 2, which aired in July 2023. A source tells TVLine that when Freevee was scrapped last year, Almost Paradise became a casualty.

Devlin isn't ready to say goodbye yet, though: "As you can tell from Leverage: Redemption, I don't give up. So at some point, Almost Paradise will be back. I just don't know when." Devlin also exec-produced the long-running TNT procedural Leverage, which was revived by Freevee as Leverage: Redemption in 2021.

Almost Paradise starred Christian Kane — who also co-starred on Leverage — as Alex Walker, a former U.S. DEA agent who, after his partner's betrayal and a life-threatening battle with hypertension, is forced into early retirement and relocates to a small tropical island in the Philippines. There, he's pulled back into a world of dangerous people and deadly situations, either through his friends in the local police — Kai Mendoza (played by Samantha Richelle) and Ernesto Alamares (Art Acuña) — or running into people from his old life.

Devlin and Gary Rosen (The Librarians) co-created the series and served as co-showrunners. Kane still stars on Leverage: Redemption (Season 3 premieres Thursday, Apr. 17) and is set to reprise his role as Jacob Stone in The Librarians: The Next Chapter (coming soon to TNT).
